Ok, I hooked up my DHW coil in the Shaver just like the attached Word file states...EXCEPT, I used a Ranco thermostat instead of a cheaper one.
Problem is sometimes we run out of HW VERY FAST. I'm talking 5 minutes! My guess is the circ pump is coming on while I'm in the shower and the cold water coming in to fill the WH has higher pressure and it exits the WH before circulating to be warmed up. Reason I guess this is when I'm showering I can tell a very slight pressure drop at times, then a few minutes later, water starts to run colder, colder, colder.
Has anyone ever run into this?? Any idea what I did wrong?
I do know our road water pressure is 110psi, then runs 1/4 mi through 2" PVC. We have very good water pressure.
FYI - I don't know anything about how WH's are plumbed internally.
